Instrument fitted in the carburetor of the automobile to provide the correct mixture of air and fuel necessary for combustion works on
- A Pascal's Law
- B Bernoulli's Principle
- C Newton's Law of Cooling
- D Archimede's Principle
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Bernoulli's Principle
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The carburetor of an automobile works on Bernoulli's principle.
As air flows through the narrow section (venturi) of the carburetor, its velocity increases. According to Bernoulli's principle, this increase in velocity results in a decrease in pressure.
The low pressure created in the venturi draws fuel from the float chamber into the air stream, creating the correct mixture of air and fuel necessary for combustion.
